Chapter 2:A Familiar Face
"OMG...I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT YOU WENT OUT ON A DATE WITH NEJI!"Screamed Naruto.
"Oh shaddup!"Yelled back Sakura.
She massaged her temples,from the major headache that she felt coming on...Boy was Naruto ever loud...Why would he even care if I went out with Neji...?
"THIS IS SO HUGE!I CAN'T WAIT TO TELL EVERYONE THAT YOU WENT OUT WITH NEJI!"Yelled Naruto.
"If you tell a soul I swear...I'll beat you up!"Screamed Sakura.
"Awww...Sakura are you in a bad mood..."Asked Naruto.
"Get lost!"Replied Sakura.
"Do you need Neji to come and comfort you...?"Naruto laughed.
That was a big mistake...Sakura had had the last straw with Naruto...He was pushing his luck!
Naruto started to slurp up his ramen that he purchased that morning...Sakura grabbed the bowl from him and tilted it over so that all
the noodles and broth fell on Naruto...Leaving him for once speechless...
"I warned you...idiot!"Said Sakura,as she rose from her seat and walked out of the toom,leaving Naruto with a shocked look on his face...Today was Sakura's day
off she didn't have to work dor once...it was a relief! Sakura walked towards the forest and caught sight of Neji lying against a tree with his eyes shut.
Sakura called out his named and he immidiatly opened his eyes...When she reached Neji,Sakura sat down on the grass beside him...
"Hey Sakura..."Greeted Naji.
"Oh hi Neji..."Replied Sakura.
"Did you have fun last night"Neji questioned.
"Yes I did Neji...thanks."Said Sakura.
He placed his around Sakura's neck and laid his head on hers...She wanted to go into Konoha forest but not alone,maybe...
"Neji...do you want to take a walk with into Konoha forest?"Asked Sakura.
"Thats fine with me..."He replied.
They both stood and headed towards the forest,it was dark and quiet...Though the trees did cast creppy shadows everywhere...She held onto Neji's hand
until she decided to sit and take a five minute break. Neji sat in a tree and Sakura sat by the trees roots...Neji had sensed a presence in the forest.
they were definatly not alone...? Neji reached into his back pouch and began slowly pulling out a kunai.
Sakura noticed what Negi was doing and quickly sat up also taking out a kunai from her pouch.
Someone was lurking in the shadows behind them getting out a sherinkan. That someone was aiming it at Sakura's back.
The person gave an evil grin and threw the Sherinkan at Sakura. Neji quickly jumped from the tree pushing Sakura out of the way before the sharp
object could strike her... The sherinkan it hit a tree from missing its target,the person jumped into another tree and Neji quickly picked Sakura up
bridal style into a tree far from the attacker. Neji looked around the forest until he saw a masked figure come out and jump at Sakura.
Before he had time to run to her she was pinned against the trees trumendous branch,grabbing the masked ninja's arms as he began to cut of
her oxygen...Sakura was gasping for breath and trying to kick him off,Neji had jumped and tackled the ninja to the floor giving him one good punch
to the stomach...the ninja kicked Neji off and clutched his stomach from getting punched. The figure lunged at him and Neji out of nature dodged him
put instead of attcking him...Neji grabbed the mask that hid the ninja's identity. Sakura gasped at who the attcker was...
"Sas...Sasuke..."Sakura gasped.
"What the hell...You bastard!"Neji screamed.
Sasuke laughed an evil cold heartless laugh and looked at Neji...
"I see you have been taking good care of the cherry blossom...Calmly spoke Sasuke.
Before Neji or Sakura had a chance to react,Sasuke jumped into the trees and was gone...Sakura fell to the ground and clutched her heart...Sasuke was
back in Konoha,Neji went to her side and helped Sakura on her feet. He gave her a stern look and guided her back to her house.
Neji couldn't believe Sasuke...out of all people was the person responsible for trying to attack them...mainly Sakura. He would pay with his life for showing
up back in Konoha and after leaving Sakura with a broken heart tried to hurt her... That bastard first he hurt her mentally and now he tried to hurt her phisically!
When they reached Sakura's house,Neji asked if she wanted him to stay and watch out for her...incase Sasuke tried to attack her again...?
"No...Neji...I don't want to be a burden..."Sighed Sakura.
"Your no burden Sakura...Your my friend..."Replied Negi.
She thanked him and got ready for bed,into some purple pajama's and getting under her blankets. She feared that Sasuke would show up and try to finish her
off...but why did would Sasuke try to hurt his old team mate?It didn't make any sense...?She must have done something to upset him?
but what...?She thought so hard that soon after a while Sakura tired her self to sleep...Dreaming about Neji...
